A beautiful and large green plateau with panoramic views of the peaks of the Susa valley, including Rocciamelone. It houses both a chapel and a bivouac. It is possible to reach it both from the Susa valley and from the Sangone valley. The path that climbs from Alpe Fumavecchia to Villar Focchiardo is beautiful.

Mountain biking

Superb plateau from which you can enjoy an incredible view over the whole valley. The path is long if done by Villar Focchiardo, but never too tiring. An aspect not to be underestimated is that from Casotto Fumavecchia it is necessary to do portage as the path leading to the plain is very steep and full of rocks.

Hiking

Beautiful plateau located on the ridge between Val Susa and Val Sangone, with a chapel and emergency shelter. Easily reachable in 20-30 minutes from Casotto Fumavecchia, at the end of the dirt road that takes you from Villarfocchiardo, it takes longer walking time for those arriving from Val Sangone.
